There was a great deal of interest in the various exhibits which included the parish registers, a pictorial history of the old mill site and mammoth bones found at Paxton Pits. 
The event was opened on Saturday (October 18) by St Neots Town Crier, Mike Blackburn, who then toured the village publicising the event.
 
Visitors had the opportunity to have their artefacts valued by David Fletcher of Peacocks of St Neots and more than 80 items were valued.  There was also a fascinating talk by Richard Halsey, chairman of the Cambridgeshire Historic Churches Trust, on St James' Church in the Middle Ages.

The exhibition drew to a close on Monday with visits by children from Little Paxton Primary School.
Peter Hagger, one of the organisers, said: "The weekend was a huge success and we had many people asking if we could start a local history society looking at both village and family history."
 
The weekend was the first event to raise money for the Church for Tomorrow Project which is currently being planned.

This has the aim of getting the church bells ringing again after 100 years and making the church more comfortable and flexible with new heating and seating.  More than £300 was raised.
